This story is a sequel to Homeward Bow

For some reason, every time Luna looks up at the Moon, she can't help but feel like she's forgetting something.

Then, one night, a mysterious stranger crashes onto her porch, claiming to have known her while she was banished.

What, exactly, has she forgotten?

In the same continuity as Homeward Bow, and, by extension, Ruby and Friends, though reading those are not strictly necessary to understanding this story. This is a reboot of the "Cosmic Masquerade" arc of the story.

Violence tag for a moment in Chapter 3 — blood-substitute is mentioned, but the violence does not occur on-screen.

Since the day of the grand opening of Canterlot Boutique, Twilight Sparkle keeps thinking of the time when Sassy Saddles called her "the hot new princess in Equestria." And she's curious, does she really think she's hot?

May Pairing Contest 2023

All Luna wanted was a nice day off. Being bothered by hotheaded young dragons was not part of the plan. And trying to deal with it only lead to the dragon becoming even more annoying.
Something is going on, and Luna does not have the patience to figure it out.

The foolish drake is going to get tired of getting flung off mountains at some point.
Right?

Twilight Velvet has big news and she wants her daughter to be a part of it. Unfortunately, Twilight doesn't take it well. In fact, she takes it horribly

Written for May Pairing Contest 2023

A thousand years ago in Equestria, Luna's frustration and desperation has been building for years and years as her social and political isolation grows, but just before Luna's jealousy and resentment can turn into murderous hatred against her sister, a new event triggars Luna's mental collapse and pushes her over the edge. When Luna by circumstance finds herself alone in Celestia's room she reads her sister's diary out of curiosity and discovers all of the disparaging criticism that Celestia has leveled at her over the years about how much of a nuisance Luna has been to her, but has been too polite to say directly to Luna's face.

Luna and Celestia had always supported and stuck with each other all their lives. Even when the common-ponies critisism and shunning of her was at its worst, the knowledge that her sister loved her kept Luna going. The realization that nopony, not even her own sister valued her or thought she was fit for the throne completely shattered whatever remained of her fragile psyche.

And so Luna just gave up...

She gave in...

If no one wanted her there...

Then she wouldn't stay there...

She would leave.

When the weight of time - both past and future - comes to bear, Twilight writes one, final letter. Seeking closure, she may just find something more.

Cover art edited by ModMCdl. Because for some reason they both still put up with me.

Jonathan was a human. That is until he woke up as a pony, in Canterlot. A magical alicorn pony... He is not particularly happy about that last one.

Description edited June 7, 2024.
Expect very slow updates. Might have an editor now. Will likely edit and modify old chapters slightly, but not to the extent of neglecting new content.

Story was almost cancelled, but then I realised that I still wanted to keep writing just a little further.
Just some forewarning though. This story is not for everyone. It is a slow-burn slice-of-life which lacks much serious threat. There is no big villain, and the storyline progresses quite slowly and you may get bored.
I am still new-ish to writing, so the writing quality (especially surrounding characters and dialogue) may leave something to be desired.

A story about someone with limited knowledge of the show, (basic facts on a small scale, no timeline stuff) wakes up as an alicorn (early-teen) in Canterlot. He is not happy about this fact.

General info:
No, they do not have OP alicorn powers. Yes, he is sort-of a foal, but not of baby age and this will not affect his personality or emotional-capacity in any way.
Gender swapping? No, I asked in the comments, people want a male alicorn.
Will this impact my other story (Clouds)? Probably, depends on if people want me to continue it or not.

Rating was changed from [E] to [T]. Don't expect content to change too much, it's mostly a precaution, but I will try to keep the story as close to [E] as I can for now. Change was made after Ch:11.

Tags will be updated with story.

I wanted a normal day of having fun at a con. Obviously that's not gonna happen. So now i'm stuck in Equestria as a custom-typed Absol. This can only go well.

My own take on the whole Displaced whatever the hell. Tempted to open up for crossovers, but not guaranteed.

Edit: tweaking the tags slightly to better envelope what this story will become.
Edit2: WHY IS WRITING SO DIFFICULT

Also, somepony mentioned something about pairings. If you REALLY want to know in advance, let me know and I'll just PM you, not sticking it on the front page cause why spoil?

A man wakes up with no idea what is going on, but one thing is sure, he is not a human anymore.

My day started out great. my work week just finished and I chose to use my first day off to finally go watch the MLP movie in the cinema and the movie was a great experience.

...

But my day went from great to WTF when I was passing a sushi resturant on the way out of the cinema and suddenly I'm Haku from Spirited Away and I'm in season 2 Equestria... but things are not all as they seem and now I've gotta figure out how to get home... if that's even possible.

Please not that, despite the romance tag, Haku will not have romantic relations with anyone living in Ponyville.

Holy hayburger! Featured 29/2/2020?

Thanks, guys. The date makes this pretty dang cool
